The Magic Continues with NEW Discoveries!
Montana Megalith Retreat
September 17-24, 2026
With Joyce St. Germaine and Extraordinary Guest Guide, Julie Ryder
When I took a group on a Montana Megalith Retreat in 2024, I could NEVER have imagined how absolutely mystical and magical it would be! Julie and I couldn’t wait to do it again! We modified, adjusted, and did everything we could to make it even more spectacular for 2025. And this year, our 2026 retreat will include an additional day to explore some of Julie’s newest discoveries!
I became absolutely captivated by the Montana Megaliths the instant I first heard about them! I reached out to Julie, and we felt an instant connection! Since that moment, I had dreamed of planning a retreat to visit them! In 2024, that dream became a reality! This extraordinary collection of towering dolmens,
intricate polygonal block granite walls, awe-inspiring pyramid complexes, and enigmatic stacked circular terraces had remained hidden in the Montana wilderness until recently. Julie Ryder is credited with their discovery and her dedicated research had unveiled (until 2024), over 111 intentionally constructed megalith sites and 47 dolmens, shedding new light on the ancient history of this region. Those numbers are greater now, and ground-penetrating radar has revealed some stunning new findings!

Julie leads retreats by invitation only, and invited me to bring another group with these words, “You always bring such an enlightened group, my sense is that so much more will be revealed when we are together. In my nearly 50 years of leading groups, never have I been with such a group that synced so beautifully. Your groups are so cohesive when they arrive which makes the experience of being with you all most delightful.” It is truly an honor to receive her invitation and to work in partnership with her! I promise that you will be in the company of two of the most fascinating people I have ever met!

Megaliths Accommodations
This retreat is limited to an intimate group size of 7-8, or so. I have booked a gorgeous private luxury home for 5 nights, followed by 2 nights at the historic Boulder Hot Springs Inn. Most bedrooms in the private home, are private, with one queen bed in each. Couples are welcome. One room has a full sized bed with a twin bunk above. Some bathrooms are private and some are shared. There are some other lodging options in our rental home, such as sleep sofas, should we fill up quickly.
Boulder Hot Springs
Boulder Hot Springs Inn has both single and double occupancy rooms, all with private baths. Due to the transformative and intense nature of these powerful experiences, after saying goodbye to the Ryders, the final two days and nights of our retreat will be spent at Boulder Hot Springs Inn and Spa in Peace
Valley, MT. Enjoy the pool of natural, mineral-laden, geothermal (103-106 degrees) waters coming from deep within the earth, rest in the sauna, and nestle in comfortable rooms (singles or doubles) in a
beautifully restored historic building. This is your time to reflect and integrate the remarkable events on the ranch and at the other sacred sites. We loved our stays at the Inn in past years, and I know you will too! Inhale, exhale, and relaaaaaaaaaxxxxxxx…
Boulder Hot Springs is a recipient of the prestigious Eco-Star Award. Explore the hiking trails where you may see foxes, coyotes, deer, cranes, ducks, elk, bears, moose, antelope, and beavers, all of whom
realize that this is a sanctuary for them, too. Healthy, delicious buffet breakfasts will be included at the Inn. We may arrange dinners there if we choose.
The exact retreat cost is still being determined,
but a close estimate is $2400-$2600 per person,
depending on chosen accommodations. Single rooms are limited in the private home rental, but
available at Boulder Hot Springs Inn. (There are also some extra sleeping options in the private home, such as sleep sofas.) Daily breakfasts, and packed lunches on excursion days will be catered by our
favorite chef, Tina!
I’ve included a convenient payment plan of three installments.
